3. create the file "extension.info" using the following template:

Title: my_program.dsl
Description: Program I made into a MyDSL extension
Version: 42
Author: http://www.my_program.org/
Original-site: http://www.my_program.org/
Copying-policy: Whatever license my program uses (GPL, BSD, MIT, etc)
Extension by: me
Comments: This is a really awesome application that does many
useful things that I think the DSL community will
benefit from.
It requires the xxxx.dsl and the yyyy.dsl to function.
This was repackaged from the my_program_42.0-0_i386.deb file
found at ftp.us.debian.org stable. Includes icon and menu.
Change-log: 08/24/2005 - First DSL Version
Current: 09/12/2042 - Upgraded and Revised for xxxx-new.dsl

Send all three files as attachments to:

extensions2@damnsmalllinux.org

Once received it will be posted into the testing area of the repository and it will be included in the monthly announcement in the "Testing Area."

NOTE: While you're at it, make two tarballs ("tar.gz" files): One containing executables and one containing all the text files. You can keep the text tarball for your own use and send it to others who ask for documentation.
